It's been over ten years since this book was written, during which time
the Washington Post seems to have devolved considerably. One problem with
major newspapers like the Post is that their circulation monopoly lets them
sell too much advertising. Another is that they have their own bureaus
around the world, so they rarely deign to use stories from AP and Reuters.
More often than not, this means that their national and international
coverage simply isn't very good. And the op-ed pages are narrow and dull,
rarely worth reading. So when the final product thumps on the doorstep,
the ratio of useful print to the number of trees consumed to print it is
shamefully low. If television news wasn't worse still, newspapers would be
out of business by now. There must be a better way.
